But it’s not over yet. So how can your home help you now?

Well, with a lifetime mortgage that’s secured against your home, you could unlock some of the cash tied up in your property, as either

A larger single amount, or several smaller amounts, that you can apply to take when you need them.

Interest is only owed when you take the money. You won’t make any monthly repayments.

Instead, interest is charged on both the loan and any interest already owed, and added to the total amount that’s secured against your home.

That means the total you owe can grow quickly, reducing the equity in your home and the value of any inheritance you may leave.

The loan and the interest are only repaid when you die or enter long term care.

The money you release could be the savings you never knew you had, helping you in your retirement.

It’s a big decision, and there are many factors to consider. That’s why you can only get a lifetime mortgage through a qualified adviser.

They’ll ensure that you’re eligible for the product, and can check if it’s the best solution for you.
